I suppose you could wear a cotton tank underneath if it doesn't ruin the effect. </p> <p>Rambling Ann, I love the laser cut pattern on that! Great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784384 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 21:39:38 +0000 Gigi 1784384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I hadn't even thought of the seasonal confusion aspect. That might be a deal breaker for me, because I usually run cold, and I don't break out sleeveless tops until it's pretty darn hot. It would have to be made of really lightweight leather.</p> <p>It's interesting to know that people don't seem to have a problem with sweating on the leather. Sounds like maybe it's something worth trying when I feel like I have the funds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784362 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 19:40:21 +0000 Rambling Ann 1784362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one, I wear it a lot to dinner dates. It feels wonderful. It doesn't seem to need much cleaning or care and it packs beautifully. One of the first things I bought when I joined YNAB.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784270 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 13:11:21 +0000 kkards 1784270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have one...honestly its not an every week pieced, if you are a CPW, this item (or one similiar) will probably never earn its place....but if you are looking for a special piece that can make an outfit, this are great....as of your qestion re underarm sweat, i never had a problem, (but i'm not a big sweater)...i wear the piece and let it air out....but i'm also the person who doesn't wear socks with most of my leather shoes...</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.quora.com/How-does-leather-react-to-sweat">https://www.quora.com/How-does.....t-to-sweat</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784266 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 13:03:15 +0000 cindysmith 1784266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have one and I just didn't wear it enough to justify keeping it.

I also did what Janet describes. It was hard to figure out seasonally. I used it like a vest but it was rather stiff and more trouble than I wanted to manage in a wardrobe item when I had small children. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784198 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 03:39:55 +0000 Jaime 1784198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I am interested if anyone has a better solution than a specialty cleaner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784196 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 03:35:54 +0000 Anonymous 1784196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's super cute, but doesn't seem too practical. Maybe it could be a special statement piece. For me, I have some faux leather sleeves on one short sleeve sweater and a faux suede front short sleeve top. That's as close as I want to come to this trend with my weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784190 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 02:31:26 +0000 Janet 1784190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a leather peplum sleeveless top (currently a little too tight on me so it's in my holding zone and may have to be let go ). I have only worn it as a vest, over a lightweight blouse or shirt. I tried to wear it alone, but the combination of sleeveless + leather was a bit too seasonally confused for me. If it's warm enough to be sleeveless, it's too warm to wear leather. At least for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practicality-of-leather-tops#post-1784188 Sun, 05 Mar 2017 02:18:55 +0000 Gigi 1784188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been seeing more and more leather tank-style tops and am wondering if these are really that practical. Wouldn't they need to be sent for cleaning quite often, seeing as something sleeveless would certainly be in contact with your underarm sweat? I love the top I've posted in Finds but for the life of me can't imagine it would be practical. </p>
